Aÿ - Vauzelle Terme Brut Champagne Pinot Noir

Nutty with sharpness. Lemon. Slate. Quite advanced or maybe an oxidative style. Got balance and cut

Chalky, vibrant, intense / red fruit, yeast on the nose

You saw right 1,5 L

Dang!!!

A quick and loud entrance. It just bursts beautifully with honeycomb, white flowers, cheese and nuts. Almost full-bodied, elegant, vinous and fresh. Salty mouthfeel, textured and nuanced with delicate mousse, and long evolving and sapid finish.

Disgorged in May 2022

Hmm. Not feeling it. First time with this producer and wine. It’s definitely a horse of a different color….Chalky and “grippy”. It’s grounded and very dry and one of the least sweet champagnes I have tried. It just didn’t get to any place very good for my palate. Gave it ample time but similar results across the timeline.

18/20 (95/100) Легкий медный оттенок в цвете. Тонкий и элегантный и очень красивый аромат с нотами малины, красных лесных ягод, яблок и груш, лимонного сока с бриоши. Легкость во вкусе, звонкая кислотность, продолжительное послевкусие. Великолепно!

Drinking like a King Tasting
